jumeira (Arabic: جميرا) literally means “burning embers”. It is a coastal residential area in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and one of the oldest settlements in historic Dubai. Many say that Jumeira was a refreshment to the deserts around it, an oasis where travellers and traders alike were welcome. Historically, Arabs living in the Jumeira were fishermen, pearl divers and traders.
The pearl industry of the Gulf began as early as the Late Stone Age, around 7000 years ago, with pearls having been found among ornaments in graves of the period. It was an important part of the UAE’s economy at the beginning of the Twentieth Century, providing seasonal employment for several thousand people.
